Park Board had about completed arrangements

The troubles III Afghanistan. which daily grow
moro serious are of purely local origin. few
months ago the Ameer determined to make his
government equally supreme In all parts OF the
country and establish a uniform system OF laws
and civil administration. The Ghllzais and others
of the more blrbar0us tribes objected TO this, since
il threatened o deprive them OF the semt-inde-
; pendence they had long enjoyed. Living chiefly
by raidlng and robbery. they were opposed TO any
,ysten that would mako them amenable to law.
But their resistance to the Ameers authority would
probably have been brief and feeble had there
bee no interference from tho outside. The Russian
advance guard in rurkestan. however, saw that
here was too good an opportunity to be lost.
Agents were quickly sent to the recalcitrant tribes
to encourage them In their revolt. The rebels were
supplied with means to carry on the conflict and
were promised the support of Russian IN case
r the Amoer proved loo strong for them Thus the
I flame was spread until now one-third OF ARhanls
\ tan is afire with rebellion Whether Russia Will
seize upon this self-developed opportunity to
, swoop down upon IIerat is yet TO be seem Ii she
does not do So it will be because she cannot.
With her present railroad facilities and massing OF
troops In lurkestan, she could place an army In
Herat before the British could get halfway t.
